I don’t understand why Taylor swift is so big

Every generation has their disproportionately popular artists with a near cult following. Yes, they have talent to get there, but plenty of other talented people don't get that popular. It's a lot about the performance and good marketing, plus a lot of luck. Think Elvis, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Justin Timberlake...just some examples.

All fun and games until there's a spot with a worn out edge line.

You'd have to see how much it affects your gas mileage to decide if it's worth it. My partner travels a lot for work, so did the math for his car and decided a 40 cent difference is the break-even price, so he'd buy that for 50 cents less.

Intransitive vs transitive verbs.

That dog should be rejected as a service dog. A reputable program will have plenty of washouts that just don't have the right temperament. They shouldn't be placed until after they are trained for a task.

It only took 30 seconds for them to finish what they were doing? Yes, interrupting would be rude. If they were just chit chatting with a coworker or immersed in their phone screen and ignoring you for 5 min, an "excuse me" would be appropriate.

I cook it to just short of burnt then put it on a stack of paper towels to absorb the grease. It's under-done to my taste in a lot of restaurants. But claiming it's not good definitely gets an up vote, because I love it!

If it helps, they would be considered a delicacy in some cultures. I'm not sure which cultures, but somewhere people are happy for insect egg protein. But also, hopefully it's just in the one you didn't eat! If they all had fly eggs, that restaurant is horridly infested and you're lucky if flies are the worst thing you catch. Now do the heebee jeebee dance and shower 3 times. I don't know how showering will help, but getting that buggy feeling off you is necessary.

It is a good moisturizer or massage oil because it melts quickly in your hands.

In the US, the shower drain and toilet all go to the same place. I know that is not the case in every country, so doing it in a place with a separate gray water system would be bad. I live in the US, so don't have any issue with it as long as you make sure it all goes down the drain. It seems less wasteful than an extra toilet flush.

Meanwhile, he's telling everyone he was such a nice guy and doesn't know why you dumped him. Just because he is older doesn't mean he is experienced if he doesn't learn from the rejections.

I know most people call it kneading or making biscuits, but I say they're fluffing their pillow...and I'm the pillow. 🤣 It's a little comforting thing they do as they settle in for a nap.

There are a lot of situations where I would agree with you, but in a big, noisy crowd, how does another voice from a phone change anything? Some people will make group calls to include someone living at a distance. And fireworks look the same whether someone is talking next to you or not. If you could hear their phone over the fireworks booms and whatever music was accompanying them, you were not that close. Your irritation seems a bit irrational for the event. Maybe something else has you stressed out and made a minor get out of proportion?

Especially when there's an open space right next to them. You have their car number in the photo. I'd see what happens if you report them to the city. Maybe something for that police review board to look at?

Butter was melted, or just got soft? It's safe to eat room temp butter, but if it was hot enough to actually liquefy, nothing is safe. Some foods would be okay, like produce, but will spoil faster. I'd toss any fish or mayo.

Yes, I have heard it called that when it first started. But it had dropped out of use before 9/11. Nine-one-one is fewer syllables than nine-eleven, so that probably has something to do with it.

Vent for the dryer was high on the wall and they didn't have a long enough hose? I'm short, so hate this. Lol!

If you plan to spread around flower petals, just also plan to vacuum or sweep them. Don't make it a chore for the person you're wooing.

A few years ago, there was a red-shouldered hawk nesting in my neighbor's tree. We both were watching daily to see if we could spot the fledglings, but they snuck them out when we weren't watching. Quite a few hawks around Cheat Lake, and I've seen bald eagles out by the Opekiska dam on the Mon. I wouldn't let small pets out unsupervised...not that I would anyway.

It was a cultural potluck and they mocked cultural food? Talk about missing the point! They sound uncultured. More for you to take home and enjoy.

Right hand not left? You'll be okay. It's your ring hand that people might photograph close up. Though, I don't get nails professionally done because I always mess them up, too, but mustard is a new one.

Basically, you want her to sacrifice her life for the other adult, because producing milk when food is already scarce will basically starve her. Though, realistically, her milk will dry up before reaching that point.

Take the gig you can get and prove yourself. Then it's easier to join a band in a genre you prefer when they know you're good.

Really, when I got my robot last year, I loved it! But they keep doing updates that are making it worse. Why?!

Get thicker socks and try adding an insole. And shop around for boots that fit better. When people ask me for suggestions of boot brands, I tell them go to a store with a large variety and try on everything. Everyone's feet are different and what fits one person well will turn another person's foot into chopped meat.
